Psalm 32:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 Then I declared my sin to you;
my guilt I did not hide.(A)
I said, “I confess my transgression to the Lord,”
and you took away the guilt of my sin.
Selah
6 Therefore every loyal person should pray to you
in time of distress.
Though flood waters[a] threaten,
they will never reach him.(B)
7 You are my shelter; you guard me from distress;
with joyful shouts of deliverance you surround me.
Selah
